Release



Distributed by Wanda Vision, 'Anything You Want' was theatrically released in Spain on 10 September 2010. The film was also added to the lineup of the 35th Toronto International Film Festival's Contemporary World Cinema section.

Reception



Andrea G. Bermejo of 'Cinemana' scored 4 out of 5 stars, deeming 'Anything You Want' to be an "an extremely risky film" (starting by the cast of a 4-year-old girl in a non-supporting role), considering the parent-child relationship featured in the film to be a "luminous" counterpart to the one present in 'Pellet', likewise writing that working mothers would love the film.

Pere Vall of 'Fotogramas' also gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, assessing the risk (taken) and Juan Diego Botto to be the best things about the film, considering that the story grows as it sidesteps writing tropes, building its "own indomitable personality".
